Zidane hints Real out of the running for Pogba

Manchester United have been handed a boost in their €119m pursuit of Paul Pogba.

Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, says he is happy with the squad he has at the Bernabéu.

Zidane admits that he rates Pogba as a "good player" but says he is satisfied with the options he has available to him.

Zidane told reporters at Madrid's pre-season camp in Canada: "I like Pogba. At the moment, he's a Juventus player. I'm happy with the squad I have and it's difficult to improve it. But after saying that, I like Pogba - yes".

"He is a good player. He is not the only one, because there's many good players, and every club wants to have good players. But he is playing for Juventus.

"It's difficult because a big squad creates problems. But I don't dislike the idea of looking to the academy. There are a lot of competitions and we need everyone".

Madrid are believed to be United's main rivals to land Pogba's signature this summer
